Full Description
LED strips have become really inexpensive. Lots of people have created inexpensive methods of controlling their color and brightness. This workshop shows one way to control LED strips, to make them do what you want. We will use a very cheap Arduino clone. I'll show you everything you need to know to use existing programs -- as-is, or to hack on -- to control the colors in your world with LED strips.
Workshop Itinerary
- Intro to Red-Green-Blue (RGB) LEDs
- Brief intro to Arduino
- How to use an Arduino to control an LED strip
- Some demos of programs you can download
Software
OPTIONAL: bring a laptop if you want it set up for programming LED strips.
If you bring a laptop, please download the free and open source Arduino software before the workshop -- Windows, Linux, or MacOS are all fine!:
